I fell in love with cooking as a little girl, sitting on the counter, helping Mom cook. That shared love of cooking is what this blog is all about. I want this to be a place where we can all share and learn from each other all our favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and more. From how to fry an egg to Grandma's tried and true classics to your favorite olive oil. I hope everyone enjoys the blog, has fun with it, and will contribute your own ideas.

Roasted Sunchokes with Salsa Verde

Another recipe from my favorite cooking show, Extra Virgin. I have made several recipes from the show and every one has came out delicious, not to mention they are easy and fresh. I have never tasted sun chokes before, or anchovies or capers for the matter,  but when they made them on the show they looked delicious, so I just had to try them. The salsa Verde is delicious and would be fantastic to put on lots of things. Potatoes, fish, pasta... anything you want to add a little kick of flavor to. Surprisingly, I can see myself making sun chokes again in the future,and most definitely trying the salsa verde with some other dishes as well! Don't be skeered. Just try it and you will like it!
